In an interview with Britain's Sky News a former translator for ISI stated that he was ordered by Mohammed Emwazi, the 26-year-old radical known as “Jihadi John” to convince the hostages they were safe just before they were murdered.
Hostages such as the US journalist James Foley and the British aid worker Alan Henning appeared unafraid when they read messages on camera moments before they were murdered.
Speaking to Sky news from Turkey, Saleh said Emwazi ordered him to reassure the captives. “He would say to me ‘say to them, no problem, only video, we don’t kill you, we want from your government [to] stop attacking Syria. We don’t have any problem with you; you are only our visitors’.
“So they don’t worry. Always I say to them ‘don’t worry, doesn’t matter, nothing dangerous for you. But at the end I was sure [they would die].”
Saleh also confirmed that Emwazi is the man known as “Jihadi John”, adding that he witnessed Emwazi murder Japanese hostage Kenji Goto.
